HB 1929 -- FAMILY ACCESS MOTIONS

SPONSOR:  Curls

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass" by the Committee on Civil and
Administrative Law by a vote of 18 to 0.

Under current law, a person may file a family access motion when
the person's custody or visitation with a child as provided for
in a judgment of dissolution or legal separation is denied or
interfered with by another person.  This bill expands the
availability of the family access proceeding to persons whose
custody or visitation with a child is provided for in any order
of a court.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that this is a pro-family bill.  It
merely allows a person who has established some kind of
visitation or custody status to use the simpler "family access
motion" process to enforce their visitation or custody rights.

Testifying for the bill was Representative Curls.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
